New to home brew - but thought I'd have to find cheaper bottles than 640ml glass for $1.27 brew shop or .87 from other wholesalers
Cospak - various states have boxes of 28 X 650ml crown seals for about $21 a box (inc GST) check out their website for various locations - most states
Does this seem reasonable to everyone ?
No chance of me kegging guys - variety is the spice of life

cheers love to hear fron you

The 650's sound like a reasonable option. Grab a couple of batches worth and see how you fare.

Cheers,
Greg.

Strange coincidence, after looking in the Yellowpages and some websites I was about to call Plasdene and Cospak about their 640ml bottles tomorrow.

Tried Plasdene
1 pack x 12 - 86.1c each (95c) = $11.36 per pack
5 packs x 12 - 81c each (89c)
10 pack x 12 - 77c each
40 pack x 12 - 72.5c each


all pricing excludes GST - orders are available for pickup from our Milperra Warehouse

COSPAK (5 minutes from my house )
As per our discussion today, you can buy the beer bottles in cartons of 28 and the price would be $665.00 per 1000 + GST.
= 0.665cents/each X 28 (+ GST)= $20.48 per 28 pack (inc GST)

You can just come into our showroom and order them on the spot.

Well in Adelaide both stores are on the other side of the city from me, and I'm only looking to get either 3x 12 packs or 1x 28 pack.

The local HBS here in Canberra sells 750-800ml glass tallies for $6 per doz....very well priced IMHO!

Tried COSPAK Adelaide, and they would only sell the bottles to me in groups of 28 by the pallet load. I dont really need 800 odd of them.

Tried Plasdene, sold them to me in a box of 24 for $19

Kids,

Given that Coopers 750ml bottles are now crown seals, may I respectfully suggest (and assuming you have the means) that you just fork out a bit more for a few cases, drink the contents then put homebrew in it.

I mean, say you're forking out $19 for 24 bottles, why not put that $19 towards the $70-$80 or so it would cost to buy two cases of pale ale?

Because I needed the bottles this week, and even an Irish-stock drinking machine such as myself could not feasibly go through 2 cases of longnecks in 2 days and still be right to bottle on the third.

You don't know until you try

c'mon NT where's your sense of adventure
